Skaggs (forearm) is scheduled to pitch in a minor-league game Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Skaggs reporting no complications with his sore left forearm during Wednesday's bullpen session, he'll take a day off before testing himself against hitters. Assuming he escapes the minor-league outing free of any setbacks, Skaggs' next appearance would likely come in the Cactus League at some point during the upcoming week. The southpaw remains on track to avoid the injured list and could even be in the mix for the Angels' Opening Day starting assignment.

Skaggs (forearm) threw a bullpen session Wednesday and could pitch Friday against the Diamondbacks, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skaggs experienced some forearm fatigue last week while working on an undisclosed new pitch, leading to him being scratched from Sunday's scheduled start against the Mariners. He's since scrapped the pitch and expects to be fine by Opening Day, though fantasy owners will want to see him return to Cactus League action before being confident in his readiness.

Skaggs will not make his scheduled spring start Sunday against the Mariners due to left forearm fatigue, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The issue apparently cropped up the day after Skaggs incorporated a new pitch during a bullpen session. An MRI already came back negative as his removal may be precautionary. According to Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times, Skaggs was still playing catch prior to Sunday's game, indicating it's not a serious issue.

Skaggs agreed to a one-year, $3.7 million deal with the Angels, avoiding arbitration, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skaggs logged a 4.02 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 129 strikeouts in 125.1 innings last season, proving he can still be useful in many formats when healthy. The oft-injured Skaggs avoided arm injuries last year, and was instead limited with hamstring, hip and groin injuries. He will have another year of arbitration in 2020 before hitting the open market in 2021.

Skaggs (8-9) allowed four runs on five hits and one walk across 2.1 innings Sunday to take the loss against the Astros. He did not record a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Skaggs struggled in the first inning, allowing a two-run home run to Yuli Gurriel before Evan Gattis' RBI single extended the deficit. He allowed another run on two hits and a hit batsman in the third before his removal with one out. Skaggs pitched well in his first start back from a five-week absence, but he struggled in this outing against one of the toughest lineups in baseball. He now owns a 3.91 ERA for the season and will make his final start of the campaign Saturday against the Athletics.

Skaggs fired three shutout innings with three strikeouts against two walks and no hits Tuesday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Skaggs missed over a month with a left groin strain, so he was eased back into action with just 51 pitches (34 strikes) in Tuesday's outing. The lefty was lit up for 17 runs in 6.2 innings in his final two starts before hitting the disabled list, but he still owns a solid 3.69 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 9.5 K/9. He lines up to make two more starts this year -- next at Houston on Sunday -- though that may not be enough time for him to be fully stretched out the rest of the way.

Skaggs (groin) was activated from the disabled list ahead of his scheduled start against the A's on Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Skaggs is set to rejoin the starting rotation after missing more than a month with a left groin strain. The 27-year-old southpaw compiled a 3.78 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 9.5 K/9 prior to landing on the shelf. He lines up to make three more starts before the end of the season and will look to finish his breakout campaign on a high note.

Skaggs (groin) will be activated from the 10-day disabled list and start Tuesday against Oakland, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skaggs has been sidelined since Aug. 12 with a left groin strain, but after successfully tossing a bullpen session Sunday, he appears to have returned to health. The 27-year-old will look to finish the season strong, posting a 3.78 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with 123 strikeouts over 116.2 frames in 2018.

Skaggs (groin) will throw a bullpen session Sunday and could return to the starting rotation next week, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skaggs completed a 48-pitch simulated game Thursday, and Sunday's bullpen session would put him on track to start as early as Tuesday, assuming all goes well. The 27-year-old has been on the 10-day disabled list since Aug. 12 with a left adductor strain.

EDGE Analysis
Skaggs has been on the shelf since Aug. 12 after suffering a left adductor strain. Although no decision has been made yet on the next step in his rehab, the Angels could place him in the starting rotation sometime next week if he responds well to his latest throwing session.
